I can open itunes on my new computer but I can't use it...
Hi everyone, I hope you can help me with an irritating problem I have with itunes on my new computer. I'm not american so I hope I can explane it...
I installed itunes and thought it worked fine. I copied a couple of cd´s I wantet to put on my ipod but itunes won't play them. It shows all the songs just fine but when I press play it shows a second of each of the songs I imported but there's no sound. The same happened when I put the songs on my ipod - it only showed the title for a second and then moved on to the next song.
So I can't really use itunes for anything right now - What do I do?
Windows XP
does the time for the songs (in your main library display) show that they are only a few seconds long?
if so, we'd better check on some of the usual suspects with that:
You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
... and these resources might also be helpful with that:

I am trying to open up my iTunes onto our new computer but do not remember my answers to the security questions. The e-mail verification is being sent to an outdate e-mail address I no longer have access to. I updated the e-mail address in my iTunes account but it will not send it to the updated e-mail. Is there any way I can fix this?

I've had to open itunes on a new computer as my last one died and i didn't have backup. but i've noticed many of my purchased songs have not come back to my itunes to download, which means i have to buy them again. Can anyone help me? Most of my purchased music was there ready to load, but about ten weren't. thanks.
Were they originally bought with a different Apple ID?

I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes store pop up like they normally would when browsing the itunes store but when I click on one of them, it is a blank page. Is there a setting I need to change? Does it just take an extremely long time to load? Please help!!

How can I save a website created on iweb, but that I no longer have it saved in my computer, so I can open it in my new computer with iweb
and republish it on another server, since mobile me would be gone on jun 2012.You need the Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in order to be able to manage and publish the site from another computer?
Do you have that file? If you do copy it to the same folder on the other computer and you're ready to go.
If not then you'll have to recreate the site from scratch. Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site. 1

Do I have to install itunes on my new computer before I can transfer my library?
Do I have to install iTunes on my new computer before I can transfer my account and library, and how do I do this if I had 9 on my old computer and there is iTunes 10 now?
No you do not have to uninstall iTunes on the PC in order to unsync with the Mac. And where you got that information about having iTunes content on two products only is beyond me. You can associate your Apple ID and iTunes content with up to 10 devices but no more than 5 devices can be computers.
If you could copy the iTunes library to your new Mac, that would be the ideal thing to do in order to transfer the iTunes library over. That would make the process pretty easy. You can also download most purchased content again as long as you use the same Apple ID and you could move content into your iTunes library that way.
You will need to authorize the new Mac for your iTunes content. Launch iTunes on the Mac and got to Store>authorize this computer.
There are many articles that will guide you through copying the iTunes library to the Mac and you can look through a bunch of them here.

I have another computer that a virus may have taken over and I cannot log into it anymore. I just downloaded Itunes on a new computer but most of my songs are not on there. Is there a way to still access or find those songs? Remotely or another way? Or do I need to take it to a tech to get my files off of my hard drive?
Edit > Preferences > Store check Music under Automatic Downloads.
Open the iTunes Store from left hand column, then select Purchasedfrom the column on the right, click the Not In My Library button and select the tunes you want to download again.
That said, you seem to be under a misapprehension as to how iTunes works, or at least how it has worked in the past. It has, until recently, been up to you take care of your purchases once they have been downloaded. You had a one-time download which you were reminded to back up. With the recent change to this policy you can at least download your store purchases again, but having a personal backup of your iTunes store purchases, stuff purchased elsewhere and files ripped from your CDs will still be preferable to gathering all the stuff together again in the event of a disaster.
For a backup strategy see this User Tip.

I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing. It seems that only the songs downloaded on itunes in the last 6 - 9 months have transferred. How can I get the rest of it to sync?
You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

Hey there, I have an iPhone 3g that was synced to my computer. My computer got stolen with all my music on it. I have a new computer but I can't sync my computer to my iPhone. How can I recover everything that's on my iPhone 3g to my computer?
If your backup copy of your computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.
Otherwise, authorize your computer for your itunes account, connect iphone, do not sync, Click: File>Transfer Purchases
This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer.
Enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data. -

I can open iTunes and play library contents but cant see any names or information in the library or any kind of wording at all, please help.
